Rec. zool. Surv. India: 104 (Part 1-2) : 27-49, 2005 THE BUTTERFLIES (RHOPALOCERA) OF PANNA NATIONAL PARK (MADHYA PRADESH) R. K. SINGH AND M. L. KOSHTA Central Regional Station, Zoological Survey of India, Jabalpur-4B2 002, India INTRODUCTION Panna National Park is one of the 9 National Parks in Madhya Pradesh. The Park falls in two districts Panna and Chhatarpur. It was constituted as a National Park in the year 1981 and a Tiger Reserve in the year 1994. The Park has an area of 543 Sq. Km. and located in the 'Vindhyan Hill Ranges' part of Bundelkhand Region. It lies between 24 27' to 24 46' North latitude and 79 45' to 80 90' East longitude, and is about 20 Km. west of Panna town. It can be approached from Panna either via MadIa or via Hinauta side. A large area of the Park covers the catchment area of the River Ken, a tributary of Yamuna river. Butterfly fauna of Madhya Pradesh has been previously studied by Marshall and de Niceville (1882), de Niceville (1886, 1890), Betham (1890, 1891a & b, 1892), Swinhoe (1886), Witt (1909), Evans (1932), Talbot (1939, 1947), Wynter-Blyth (1957), Singh (1977, 1995), Singh and Koshta (1997), and Chandra et. ai., (2000). A perusal of literature reveals that nothing is known about insect fauna of the Park (Tiwari, 1998) perse. Hence, to explore the insect fauna especially butterflies, three extensive surveys i.e., from 07.11.2000 to 27.11.2000; 12.3.2001 to 23.3.2001 and 13.3.2002 to 27.3.2002 were undertaken by the Central Regional Station, Zoological Survey of India Jabalpur. The present work is an attempt to provide a comprehensive account of Rhopalocera from Panna National Park, based on the specimens collected during the above surveys. The study reveals the presence of fifty species under thirty six genera and eight families. All the fifty species dealt with in this account are reported for the first time from Panna National Park. Taxonomical revisions have been cited after Varshney (1993, 1994, and 1997). ABBREVIATIONS USED ColI. - Name of the Collector ex (s) - Number of examples (s)
